Most recent finish. This is the 3rd iteration of this photograph I took hiking in Shenandoah. I wanted to make it more abstract than the previous ones, so I used the gold version as a reference, and tried to look at it as little as possible

Took a relief woodcarving class with my dad in January (taught by @kevinkewing, thanks!), I think this piece is done? Definitely enjoying learning this craft.

Image based on a detail of woodcarving from a Scandinavian stave church

Have been practicing cross stitching in between projects; it's been good to slow down and focus on each stitch.
I've pulled some of the patterns from @tatreeztraditions and their resources linked on their website to create each square block pattern

(Oh and I often have a 45lb dog who decides to be my lap dog while I'm stitching)

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY! I'm going to offer these

SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY!

I'm going to offer these pieces with a PAY WHAT YOU WANT pricing. I’m releasing 3 original artworks today — and for the next few days, you get to choose the price.

I believe art should be accessible, and I’d love for these pieces to find homes with people who truly connect with them.

How it works:
💛 DM me the piece you want
💛 Tell me what you’d like to pay - no pressure, no judgement
💛 If I get more than one person interested in a piece, I'll choose at random :)
💛 All I ask is that you pay US shipping at $8

Thank you for supporting my work!

Details on the works being offered: Machine stitched quilt blocks, made from repurposed fabrics (velvet, batik, denim), stretched over canvas frames. Piece #1 is 8x10in, piece #2 and #3 are 9x9in. All come ready to hang on your walls!
